Sayid only stops by her house late, after Aaron's asleep.

In the dark, they shed the smooth facades of their new lives. Moonlight through the window shines her skin white against his dark; they grab, cling, fingernails digging. It's pain they need, nothing to do with want. Fast. Desperate. Trapped.

Down the hall, the baby cries. Kate pulls away, abrupt, disappears.

After, she's quiet. She pulls Sayid gentle down onto the sheets and strokes his face; he imagines her fingers on Aaron's cheek. “Okay,” she whispers, body tight against his. “It's okay.”

He draws the sheets up to cover them and wonders why the baby had been convinced.
